Canvasback sends various specialty teams to the islands each year for two weeks at a time, during which our volunteer doctors, nurses, dentists, audiologists, and other medical professionals, help to bring health and wholeness to improve the quality of life for countless individuals. They are also able to provide training to island medical professionals, to increase sustainability.

Through this vital aspect of our work, we are able to help the blind to see, the deaf to hear, the injured to walk and run, and so much more. These trips also help us all to connect to one another in love and a spirit of giving, as part of a larger global community.
